Chapter 78 I want to see your legs
Thank you Grandmaster231 for your 4 Golden Tickets

In addition to his physical strength, Lathel felt that his organs and blood vessels had also become stronger and more durable than before.
Even though he was standing in a 5%-increased gravity environment, he still felt normal.
Lilith explained: "The thunder element is a very rare element, in the Karol Empire, there are only 7 people who possess a thunder element above Rank D."
"They are all masters with incredible physical strength. Even though the thunder element you possess is only Rank D, with my guidance, your future will definitely not be lower than that of those people."
Lathel shook his head and sighed. In reality, he didn't want to become a master or anything like that. He just wanted to live peacefully in this world and have the ability to defend himself.
Lilith continued: "The thunder element not only increases your physical strength, but it also has very good attack properties."
"The thunder element possesses special properties such as being able to be used as a physical or magical attack, it can also be used for defense, and it has a very powerful penetration power; and the attack range is also very large."
"The property you just practiced is the property that enhances physical attacks."
"By using Elemental thunder to cover your body or weapon, your attacks will be faster and more damaging, and they will have the ability to penetrate the enemy's defenses."
Lathel heard that and nodded: "So..."
"I know what you're going to say, but right now you can only practice like this." Lilith smiled and said: "When you can resist the 20% increase in gravity and still use the thunder element normally, I will teach you other things."
Lathel did not object, he understood what Lilith said. Afterwards, he continued to practice how to use the thunder element.
When the recovery medicine Lilith had brought for the training was finished and the room's duration was over, he and Lilith left the room.
After leaving the room, Lathel stretched himself, as he felt extremely happy and comfortable.
Since he was no longer oppressed by gravity, he felt extremely light, as if he could fly into the sky.
"Lilith, I have finally been able to resist up to 7%. I believe that with just a few weeks of practice, I can resist the 20% increase in gravity and use the thunder element skillfully."
Hearing that, Lilith nodded, but then smiled shyly: "Sorry, but... you can't enter this place anymore."
Lathel was startled: "Why? Because of the Seventh Elder?"
"No!" Lilith shook her head: "It's because you are not my official student, you cannot continue to enter this place."
"Besides… if you rent the worst room… hm… like this room right now, you're only allowed to use it once a week."
"Of course, the more contribution points you spend or the higher you rank in exams, the easier it will be for you to rent higher-class rooms."
Hearing that, Lathel nodded: "It's okay, I can practice on my own."
Lilith saw that Lathel didn't care at all and felt a little relieved.
"Sorry… You are my student, but I can't give you too many things."
"Hahaha… you are wrong." Lathel shook his head and said: "I am not your official student yet. Besides… what you have done for me is already a lot."
Lilith took out a card and gave it to Lathel: "This is the library access card. Although this card can only help you review a few basic documents, it is still very useful to you right now."
Lathel looked at the card and immediately accepted it. Anyway, right now he really needed to collect more information—not only information about this world but also a lot of information about vampires.
That's right, he wanted to solve Charlotte's curse. Right now, he, Lafien, and Charlotte haven't shown any signs of being cursed, but that doesn't mean that in the future they won't be cursed as well.
With this card, Lathel can enter the library and gain more knowledge.
More importantly, he can also find and learn some magic skills.
Lilith said that he couldn't learn magic skills right now, but a little reference might be okay.
"Good, that's all for today, you are free now. Next time, you can practice on my 30th floor. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Lilith smiled and said, taking out another ceramic medicine bottle: "In this medicine bottle there are 20 recovery pills, all of them are 2-star medicines. If you run out, just come find me to get more."
Lathel nodded and accepted the potion from Lilith's hand.
"So… I'm going home…" Lathel spoke carefully, his eyes staring at Lilith to see what her expression was.
After all, it was already noon, and even though he had told Lafien and Charlotte that the food he had left in the kitchen could be reheated and he had even given Lafien 200 gold coins in case she needed to buy something, he still felt a little worried.
When Lilith heard Lathel say that, she pouted, and her face was a bit uncomfortable. Seeing this, he sighed and said: "So... do you want to come to my house for lunch?"
"Heh?! Really?" Lilith happily said: "Hm... even though I'm very busy, since you invited me, I have no choice but to accept. After all, I am your teacher so it's normal I take care of you. How are your meals and residence? They are also very good, right?"
Lathel: "…"
The two of them began to leave this floor, but when they reached the entrance of this floor, the Seventh Elder was sitting on a chair, smiling at him and Lilith.
Lathel was a bit surprised because he felt that the Seventh Elder's attitude was completely different from before.
Previously, the Seventh Elder looked at him with disdain and laughter, but now the Seventh Elder is looking at him with a bit of appreciation and recognition.
The Seventh Elder also had his own thoughts when he saw Lathel. His eyes immediately noticed that Lathel's physical strength had increased a lot, as it was several times stronger than when he entered this place.
You must know that the time he spent in the training room was very short—only about 3 hours. That means that Lathel only trained for 6 hours. In 6 hours, Lathel was able to increase his physical strength greatly, which shows that Lathel was definitely not normal.
The seventh elder felt that this was reasonable. After all, Lathel certainly had something special for him to have become a student of the Fifth Elder.
'Maybe I'm old, my eyes have become weak, and I can't see the special features of a person.' The seventh elder said to himself in his heart.
"Wait!" The seventh elder suddenly stood up from the rocking chair and spoke.
Lilith frowned. Her annoyed voice rang out: "What's wrong?"
"Hahahaha… nothing. I just felt like I was a bit too much just now, so I wanted to compensate your student with some benefits." The seventh elder said with a smile.
Hearing that, Lilith felt confused: "What do you mean?"
The Seventh Elder did not answer Lilith. He took out a yellow card from his pocket and gave it to Lathel: "Boy, I think your potential is very high. This is my gift to you."
Lathel looked at the card, then looked at Lilith again, but then he shook his head and said: "Seventh Elder, I am not really a student of the Fifth Elder, that's why, if you give me this thing, I'm afraid you have broken the law, right?"
"That's right." The Seventh Elder smiled and said: "But I think you are a genius, so this is considered an investment for you."
"Ah… after all, I'm old, my eyesight has become poor, and I can't see some problems clearly."
The Seventh Elder sighed and said, his face showing some regret.
Seeing that, Lathel suddenly smiled and pushed the yellow card towards the Seventh Elder.
"Sorry, I can't accept this card right now."
The Seventh Elder frowned. He felt that this young man was a bit petty. He wanted to say something, but Lathel spoke first.
"I can't accept this card because this is against the law. If anyone knew about this, it would negatively affect the reputation of the Seventh Elder."
The seventh elder was startled when he heard that. In just a few seconds, his thoughts about Lathel changed from negative to positive.
Lathel continued: "Besides… I want to compete fairly with the other students in the Enchanter Tower. The yellow card is very attractive, but I will get it with my own ability."
He clasped his hands, bowed his head, and said: "Thank you, Seventh Elder, for trusting and honouring me like this."
The seventh Elder nodded after listening and smiled with satisfaction: "Hahahaha... good, very good... not cowardly but not arrogant either."
"I also apologize for my attitude earlier. If you don't need it, then I will keep this card. When you are able to come here again, I will give it to you."
Lathel smiled, then led Lilith off the floor. When the Seventh Elder saw those two leave, he sighed and sat down on the old rocking chair.
"It seems... my eyes are gradually becoming blurry..." The seventh elder muttered. He took the pointed hat, placed it on his face, and leaned back in the chair, as he became lost in his thoughts.
…
Exiting the Enchanter Tower, Lilith suddenly spoke: "Lathel, don't you feel angry?"
Lathel turned his head to look at Lilith. Confused, he asked, "What do you mean... about the Seventh Elder?"
"That's right, at first, he despised you and humiliated you. Now, after seeing you become stronger so quickly, he also immediately changed his attitude." Lilith said with a pout, her voice laced with disdain.
Lathel smiled and shook his head: "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, the important thing is whether they can accept the mistake and fix it or not."
"Besides, this is not an important matter, I also don't want to make a small problem turn into a big problem."
"At first, he despised me because he really didn't know my true abilities, which is also normal."
"But…" Lilith still felt extremely uncomfortable, it seemed like she couldn't accept this.
Hearing that, Lathel sighed, then he suddenly smiled and said: "Lilith, can I see your legs?"
"Heh?!" Lilith's face turned red, and she stammered: "My leg? Of course, but... there are too many people here… can we… Can we go to a more secluded place?"
Lathel: "…"
"No, you have misunderstood me, what I meant was… I want to see your shoes."
